2 lbs. round steak, cubed
2 tablespoons oil, drippings, or shortening
2 cups chopped onions

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 bay leaf
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 cups water
4 cups diced raw potatoes
6 Tbs. flour
Cover beef kidney with lightly salted water, cover and refrigerate overnight. Drain; cut out tubes and white membrane with scissors. Dice meat.
Brown kidney and steak in hot fat. Add onions, seasoning, and 1 1/2 cup water.
Simmer until meat is almost tender, about 1 hour.
Blend together flour and remaining 1/2 cup water; stir into meat mixture. Continue cooking and stirring until mixture thickens. Pour into 3 qt. casserole.
Roll out pastry slightly larger than top of casserole. Place over meat mixture and trim to overhang 1". Fold under and flute against inside edge of casserole. Cut several steam vents in center.
Bake at 425 degrees until lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
Serves 8
NOTE: You can use the milder-flavored veal or lamb kidney instead of the beef, if available. You can skip the soaking.

This is a time consuming recipe, but for special occasions it is worth the time taken. If you really hate to make pastry, I have found that the Pillsbury Ready Pastry works very well.
